Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Addiction Solution
Lloyd Sederer · 2018
81/100
👍 Worth It
Sederer packs a remarkable amount of clarity into 224 pages — the science is solid, the policy argument is evidence-grounded, and the patient case studies keep the writing human. The brevity that makes it accessible also means some threads are thinner than they deserve, and its U.S. lens is real. Still, as a compassionate, readable entry point to understanding addiction, this earns its place.
